Smart Fry 26 cm Universal Frying Pan

The Krauff Smart Fry universal frying pan, with a 26 cm diameter, is designed for daily cooking of several portions and a varied family menu. Its forged aluminum body, thickened base, and Greblon C2 non-stick coating promote even heating, help you cook with less oil, and make cleaning easy. A heat indicator complements the design and helps you gauge when the pan is ready for use.

What it's for

The cooking surface is suitable for meat, fish, vegetables, potatoes, pasta, side dishes, omelets, and pancakes. The 26 cm diameter is convenient for a daily family menu and preparing multiple portions in one go.

Body Material and Heating

The body is made of forged aluminum, which reacts quickly to changes in burner temperature. The thickened base promotes stable heat distribution across the cooking surface and helps brown ingredients evenly. The heat indicator facilitates visual control of when the pan is ready for cooking. For predictable results, use a burner of an appropriate diameter and increase the power gradually.

Non-stick Coating and Safe Use

The interior surface has a Greblon C2 non-stick coating. It reduces food sticking, allows you to use less oil, and simplifies cleaning. Krauff's official FAQ states that the brand's non-stick coatings are PFOA-free. To keep the surface in good condition for longer, use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils and do not cut food directly in the pan.

Handle, Lid, and Construction

The Bakelite handle with a Soft-Touch coating fits comfortably in your hand. A screw attachment securely connects the handle to the body. The set includes a 26 cm diameter frying pan; a lid of the corresponding size can be purchased separately if needed.

Stovetop Compatibility and Care

The model is compatible with gas, electric, halogen, and induction stoves. The manufacturer allows dishwasher cleaning, although hand washing with warm water and a soft sponge is gentler on the non-stick coating. Allow the pan to cool down naturally before cleaning.

How to Care for Your Cookware

1. Before first use, wash the pan, dry it, and lightly grease the interior surface with oil.

2. Heat gradually; do not leave empty cookware on maximum heat for a long time.

3. Use silicone, wooden, or plastic utensils without sharp edges.

4. After cooking, allow the pan to cool down naturally.

5. Wash with a soft sponge without abrasives and do not cut food directly in the pan.
